We've always heard that it's a bad idea to microwave an egg, but the typical reasoning is that the egg will just get your microwave covered in egg. Here we have a microwaved egg that had a time delayed fuse and went full Voltorb only after this guy grabbed it.
What a wonderful act of trolling. Kudos to KD for managing to keep a straight face during the exchange.
Traffic jams are one of those events in life that can drive the most even-keeled people to the brink of rage-fueled madness. You want to tell everyone to get out of your way, but the reality is that there's really no control to be had over the situation. So, when this highway came to a full stop, these dads were inspired to launch a complete investigation.
There's a special place in our hearts for funny signs. Maybe it's the fact that it's commendable that someone felt like their joke should be a permanent fixture. Maybe it's because it's funnier when something as "official" as a sign can also be so dumb. Whatever the reason, it's worth looking at signs that dispense jokes and wisdom.
One of the worst things to find yourself dealing with when you're just trying to smoothly navigate your day's tasks is to have a boss who insists on a managerial approach that's rooted in micromanagement. Micromanagement is the worst. It usually seems to stem from some maddening urge for the person to control all the things at once. Well, simply put, this isn't the most efficient way to get things done. It sounds like this employee was more than ready to unleash a tactical petty revenge though. Keep the revenge train rolling with this pro revenge story about a guy who secretly trained their roommate to not wake up to their morning alarms. Based off the roommate's behavior, it sounds like he had it coming.
As monolingual people ourselves, we fully acknowledge that we would be even worse at translation than a lot of these attempts. Hell, we only manage to make fully coherent sentences about half the time anyway. But we also acknowledge that a jar of "herpes and spices" is pretty dang funny. Here are some more creative misuses of the English language as well as some examples of English being difficult.
You never know if you're going to get caught up in the middle of a completely unhinged temper tantrum from an adult who seemingly momentarily devolves into a hopeless, childlike state where they've unfortunately tossed rationality out the window. Maybe these people's stories about their notable encounters with adults that had full-fledged temper tantrums will make you feel better about any cringeworthy moments that you got caught up in the vicinity of an emotional implosion.
There are mean bosses. There are stupid bosses. But some of the most frustrating bosses to work under are the bosses who don't know how to do their job. There's nothing quite like being behind schedule just because your boss is insisting that you do your job inefficiently and improperly, especially when they can't accept that the reason things are going wrong is because of their insistence. For some incredible management overreach, here's the Walmart manager who fired a guy from a job that wasn't his.
Tech support really has their work cut out for them. Far too many people in this mad world seemingly turn their brains off when it comes to employing minimal levels of common sense to navigate various aspects of the world of technology. In this case, we don't even know where to start. The fact that this customer repeatedly vocalized concerns over their package missing a key ingredient -- the dongle -- and never considered the possibility that an unopened package would most definitely have it.... is pretty unreal. Keep the IT content going with this collection of relatable IT memes for the technologically minded.
There are a few reasons to do something once. Maybe it was an amazing experience. Maybe it was hard, or painful, or there was only one opportunity for you to do that thing. Or maybe it was so stupid that the consequences of your actions were just too much to bare. Life is full of opportunities, and some of those opportunities, like hiking in the jungle or frying bacon naked are things that are best only indulged in once, or not at all.
Sometimes the best move really is to leave the heavy lifting and meticulous repairing of various problems around the home, to the professionals. They've gone through all that training for a reason. When anyone ends up letting their pride get the best of them, completely avoidable injuries can tend to occur. On top of that, you might just end up making that problem in your home that much worse. Check out some more funny Tumblr gems to stifle the brooding darkness over here.
There are far too many of us that have ended up having to deal with terribly frustrating roommates that can't be bothered to be considerate and generally mindful of sharing the same living space. It sounds like this dude had to deal with quite the monstrously clueless human being. The fact that his roommate wanted to have a date over for the night, while they shared the same room is just a bit of a red flag. So, when he hit his breaking point, he decided to enact a calculated revenge that involved training his roommate to not respond to his morning alarms. Pretty brilliant. Kind of twisted. For some more roommate drama, check out this pro revenge story about a roommate who thought she was sneaky, and ended up owing $400.
The wedding drama is endless. This time around we have quite the circus act. It sounds like this woman's estranged brother came out of the woodwork, and decided to get married on the same day that she planned to tie the knot. When she refused to change her wedding date, her family pitched a bit of a fit. So, she decided to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community to see whether or not she was in the wrong for not changing her wedding. You might be able to imagine what people had to say about the whole thing. Check out some more wedding drama with this AskReddit thread about the worst wedding foods that people have ever seen.
We definitely have a deep appreciation for the rare insults here. The comments sections and social media feeds have long since hosted fine displays of banter, and people generally getting into it over the most trivial of matters. With that being said, it's always nice to see someone go above and beyond with the insults that they choose to dispense. This fun AskReddit thread has people dishing out their most polished sophisticated insults. You might end up adding some of these to your arsenal.
Every now and again a fan steps up to deliver an unforgettable moment of pure and unadulterated cringe. This woman certainly delivered with some A+ trolling. Her expression really says it all.
Raccoons have a habit of washing their food before they eat it. The problem is that cotton candy rapidly dissolves the instant it hits water, making the food a real predicament for raccoons. There's even a viral gif of this trash panda in particular trying to wash it and getting duped. What people may not know, though, is that this racoon, unlike most people, is actually capable of learning from its mistakes, and ended up getting to eat its long sought-after candy floss.
We're still in the early weeks of this NFL season, and we're already seeing a steady procession of wild and unexpected plays. In this case we have what's already stirring up quite a bit of controversy, as Justin Tucker kicks the game-winning, 66-yard field goal. The only problem is that the play clock was definitely at zero. With that element being factored in, there should've been a delay of game penalty. But alas, Tucker got lucky. Very lucky.
The worst part about this highly unsettling video is that apparently this dude's landlord shrugged off the whole dangerous incident, and said that the smoke alarms worked just as they were intended to. Um, my dude, they never worked in the first place. It's just good that this guy and his animals were able to make a safe exit.
We can't all be having epiphanies all over the place, so sometimes we need to find someone who is. The churning minds of tumblrgrind up thoughts with their mandibles of endless deliberation, only pausing to add a stupid pun here and there. Is there anything to really learn from these quips and japes? Not really. Well sometimes there's some okay advice in there. But mostly it's a lot of stuff about Dungeons and Dragons. Here are some more tumblr gems to quench the forever thirst.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like this wild world's going to run out of choosy beggars that are ready to waste our precious time, anytime soon. This choosy beggar has the audacity to bid more than they can afford, and then get upset when someone else who actually follows through on their bid, takes home the product. It's like, enough is enough. Check out some more entitled people that decided to make the world a miserable place, over here.
On the one hand, it's childish to needlessly embarrass people for the things they do in the privacy of their own home. On the other hand, shattering noise ordinances to the point that their "private" sounds become a part of your home, especially when you have work in the morning, is a relatable situation that would make anyone angry. The internet judged this person's prank-like response to his very loud sex-having neighbors. For a seriously maligned neighbor, here's the entitled neighbor dad who tried to usurp a driveway and had his car towed.
For most dudes, these should just be a reminder of how low the bar actually is, which in turn makes us almost all of us look better. In general, if you can make a complete sentence, talk to a server without using slurs and bathe regularly, you're doing a good job, so keep doing you. None of us want to become people's worst first date stories, but all we can do is minimize the possibility by being decent. For some more horror shows, here arered flags people missed in past relationships.
This isn't the first time that we've encountered a tale centered on the nasty antics of a maniacal building manager, and we certainly doubt that it'll be the last time. In this case, it sounds like this narcissistic building manager was just looking for a way to assert their authority right off the bat. Unfortunately, the way that this Karen decided to assert her authority was completely uncalled for. The good news is that the tenant was more than ready to devise an ingenious way to work around Karen's BS.
If not for IT and tech support, we'd all be living in dirt, banging a stick with a rock in an attempt to get it to run MS Paint. We wouldn't have memes. We would just have to walk up to people and say "my face when" and use our actual faces to express feelings, like filthy animals. So here are some tech memes for the computer fiends. For a fun tech support story, here's the time a tech support employee caught a helpdesk scammer.
They say that an important part of what makes dogs relatable is their expressive faces, the common belief being that it makes them easier to communicate with, and also dogs with eyebrows are adorable. But it's not so often that we see a dog that gives off the same vibes as the guy at the beginning of a horror movie who warns you not to be wanderin' about so close to that ol' house down yonder. Its expression is so foreboding that your SECOND question is "how did it get up there?" For some dog stuff, here's a tumblr thread on an intuitive dog that learned proper dinner etiquette.
Knowledge is power folks. Did you plan on wandering your way into an enlightening Tumblr thread about the history and context behind the metric system today? Probably not. Yet here you are. Hey, you never know if this info might come in handy one day. At the very least, it could be some fun knowledge to break out if you ever want to spice up a conversation. Get some more tweets and Tumblr gems to win the battle against boredom, over here.
Few things in this life can be as devastating and frustrating as the realization that you've moved in next to a complete waking nightmare. It sounds like this guy really had his work cut out for him with a particularly nasty, two-faced kind of neighbor. The kind of person that errs on the side of passive aggressive nonsense, and acts like everything's okay when in reality they're genuinely upset. The thing about this neighbor though, is we're not even sure what they were really worked up about.
This is the stuff that nightmares are made of. I mean, just take a LOOK at that... thing. If that popped out of my closet in the middle of the night I would never be sleeping with the lights off again.
This has to be on of the most legendary pranks of all time especially since it caused her roommate to move out of the house. That's some real stuff right there.
We're human, and we make mistakes. We get frisbees stuck in trees, burn chicken and miss the bus. The thing is, we try to limit our mistakes so that that's kind of the extent of it. The multitude of exploded toilets and cars on roofs that seem to populate the hallowed halls of misfortune Monday are events we'd rather not let into our lives, but hey, mistakes happen.
Here we see the natural environment of the river-variety of "sawed off shotgun." They've been known to hunt in North America and come up-river to spawn. Though younger specimens can be quite dangerous, it's unlikely that a wild gun of this age is likely to pose a threat.
